Got it! Makes sense now: 28 pills x 3 bottles = 84 pills / 7 days = 12 weeks

Shadow,

Treatment length is given in weeks, not months. So, 12 weeks= 3 bottles. 24 weeks =6 bottles. Cheers.

I started taking Harvoni in Feb which had 28 days in it. When my first bottle came from Gilead's pharmacy I didn't question the fact there were only 28 pills.  However, March and April have 31 & 30 days but my additional bottles are still only for 28 pills.  Has anyone else noticed this?  I'm curious if I am being shorted pills and if so, is that going to matter if I am short taking 5 pills.  Probably not BUT........
